European Cup 1971 1972 Inter Milan Borussia Monchengladbach Replay and Second Leg

Round of 16 
Replay and Second Leg

Inter looked to half a dozen veterans from the 1970 World Cup who included European Cup-winning survivors in Tarcisio Burgnich, Giacinto Facchetti and Gianfranco Bedin at the back, plus Sandro Mazzola, Jair da Costa and Mario Corso further forward. The tackles flew in steep and sharp. Borussia went ahead on 19 minutes through Heynckes, Boninsegna levelled on 19 and Ulrich Le Fevre restored the Germans' lead two minutes later. Then, on 29 minutes, Boninsegna was apparently felled by a missile thrown from thé crowd and ail hell broke loose.

Inter skipper Mazzola handed the offending can to thé officiais as proof of thé assault, Boninsegna was carried off and thé Italians lost their collective heads. Le Fevre, Netzer and Heynckes scored three more German goals before half-time, when Inter substituted keeper Lido Vieri. Since Boninsegna had already been replaced - and only two substitutes were then allowed - Inter were reduced to 10 men when Jair was injured in the second half. They ended up with nine since Corso was sent off five minutes from thé end for pushing référée Jef Dorpmans, by which time Netzer and Klaus-Dieter Sieloff (penalty) had pushed the winning margin to 7-1. The fall-out was immense. The Germans accused Boninsegna of play-acting and claimed that the can had been thrown on thé pitch earlier in thé game. Inter  accused the Germans of intimidatory tactics on and off the pitch and demanded that UEFA award them the game by a 2-0 or 3-0 margin. In the end, UEFA went down the middle of road, annulled the resuit and ordered a replay at a différent German venue. This took place in Berlin after the second leg in Milan which Inter won 4-2 with Boninsegna and Jair on the scoresheet. A crowd of 84,000 was as good as gold in Berlin's Olympic stadium for the replayed first leg which ended goalless. Borussia's luck was right out. They missed a penalty and lost Muller with a broken leg after he mistimed a tackle on Boninsegna. Inter thus went forward into the next round on a 4-2 aggregate and a wave of bad feeling.
